Has bluetooth ever worked for you on N900?

I do have v4.7-rc working, but it works only with certain .config's,

Cameras will be a lot of fun: kernel drivers need work, and userspace
needs a ton of work, too.

OTOH: phone without bluetooth and camera is still pretty usable.

Do you use any kind of GUI for placing/receiving calls? Do you have
something reasonable for screen locking?
